5-x-2%3E3 Start with the given inequality.


-x%2B3%3E3 Combine like terms on the left side.


-x%3E3-3 Subtract 3 from both sides.


-x%3E0 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3C%280%29%2F%28-1%29 Divide both sides by -1 to isolate x. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


x%3C0 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is x%3C0
